This made me almost cry reading this because this is how high school was for me. I feel for you because it’s absolute shit. I remember being your age and posting the exact same stuff on this sub. Looking back at my experience I saw that the right people wanted to be my friend and talk to me. The ones who judged me and thought I was weird for an issue I couldn’t control were assholes and I didn’t want anything to do with them anyways. We wanna be accepted and loved and that’s very valid but sometimes the people we wanna be accepted by are like I said, total assholes. You will get through it and high school will be over before you know it. Just try and enjoy it as much as you can. As hard as it is, own your stutter. I spent my four years hating myself and being mute and I wish I could go back and change that. I wish I would of let go how others thought of me and attempted to have a teenage experience. Your stutter doesn’t define you!
